Does it help if you start Emacs from the Windows prompt with
emacs -Q
?

In that case maybe you can isolate a problematic statement in your
.emacs file for reproducing the error.

Other than that the only advice I can give is to run Emacs under gdb,
produce a backtrace after the crash and send it to emacs-pretest-bug
at gnu.org.  There are some debugging hints in etc/DEBUG.
